Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Song Yunhui looked at Wang Dalu and asked, "President Wang, could you elaborate on the specific issues?"

Wang Dalu's statement was very vague.

Song Yunhui felt that there was more complaining than anything else.

Wang Dalu said with a wry smile, "Governor Song, there are so many people here, I feel that some things may not be suitable to say publicly."

If the opportunity arises, I would like to have further discussions with you privately.

Wang Dalu was unsure of himself, so he decided to keep some things to himself for the time being.

As the richest man in Handong, Wang Dalu naturally had his own shrewdness.

This was done to attract Song Yunhui's attention and bring him into the governor's view.

Song Yunhui sensed that Wang Dalun was being a bit cautious, so he decided to play the emotional card instead, "President Wang, I guess you might have some concerns."

Today's opportunity is rare, so let me first tell you about my situation.

As a newcomer to Handong, Song Yunhui has not been in office for long. I still need to learn more, conduct more research, and gain a deeper understanding of the current state of enterprise development across the province and the actual situation at the grassroots level.

When I have time later, I will visit each company in person to conduct on-site research and see the actual operating status.

You are all members of the public, and the purpose of our organization is to serve the people wholeheartedly. I, Song Yunhui, follow the mass line, and I hope all of you entrepreneurs will open your hearts.

Our shared goal is to develop Handong.

Upon hearing this, the group of business leaders in the audience felt that they were not so far removed from Governor Song.

With a smile in her eyes, Gao Xiaoqin immediately responded, "Governor Song, I am Gao Xiaoqin from Shanshui Group. On behalf of Shanshui Group, I warmly welcome Governor Song to visit and guide Shanshui Group. All our employees are on standby at any time, waiting for Governor Song to come and conduct research."

Let's take the initiative and extend an invitation to the provincial governor.

Gao Xiaoqin felt that saying this might not do any harm to the Shanshui Group.

Song Yunhui nodded slightly. "President Gao, if there is an opportunity, I, Song Yunhui, will definitely go."

It seemed that Song Yunhui was different from others, and Wang Dalu quickly expressed his opinion: Governor Song, Dalu Group warmly looks forward to your arrival.

We are always open to leadership oversight and policy guidance.

They must be even more enthusiastic than Gao Xiaoqin.

Song Yunhui felt that he had laid enough groundwork and then returned to the main topic, "Comrades, I can truly feel your sincerity and enthusiasm."

But today, let's not use polite words or formalities.

What I want to hear most are the problems, the obstacles, and the difficulties.

Everyone, put aside your worries and don't be afraid.

You can open your heart, speak freely, and say whatever comes to mind.

Say whatever you want.

Wang Dalu hesitated for two seconds, gritted his teeth, and immediately started complaining, "Governor Song, since you want us to speak the truth, then I, Wang Dalu, will speak."

The biggest demand of private entrepreneurs in Handong is not subsidies or preferential policies.

What we want most is a fair and just business environment, and equal treatment for everyone.

Ding Jianguo immediately responded, "President Wang, our provincial government absolutely guarantees that all types of market entities will be treated equally and compete on a level playing field. We will never discriminate against any entity or set up any barriers based on its status."

Wang Dalu said with a wry smile, "Province Ding, the policy provisions are indeed fair, but their implementation is vastly different."

Song Yunhui leaned back in his chair. "President Wang, if you have any difficulties, don't beat around the bush, just say it."

I, Song Yunhui, like straightforward and generous people.

Wang Dalu loosened up a bit, "Governor Song, to be frank, many private entrepreneurs in Handong are either working on sewing machines or on their way to working on sewing machines."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

The entrepreneurs all lowered their heads in silence, their expressions complex.

This statement is too blunt and too hurtful.

Those in the industry know that this is not an exaggeration or a joke, but a true reflection of reality.

Song Yunhui's expression remained unchanged. How could Song Yunhui not know the answer to this question? "Comrade Dalu, please tell me in detail which parts went wrong?"

Is it over-regulation, flawed enforcement, or human intervention and rent-seeking?

Wang Dalu pointed directly to the past chaos, "Governor Song, let's take the Guangming Peak project as an example. It is the number one key project in Jingzhou City, with a huge scale and broad prospects."

A massive investment of 280 billion yuan.

Every company wants to participate, contribute to the development of Jingzhou, and help the economy of Handong Province take off.

See, this is the art of speaking.

The idea of ​​wanting a piece of the pie is presented in a fresh and unconventional way.

Song Yunhui looked at Li Dakang, whose face was dark, and asked, "Secretary Dakang, what do you think of what President Wang said?"

Li Dakang was really annoyed with Wang Dalu. Didn't he know the rules? He was asked to ask a question, and he actually dared to ask one.

Wang Dalu, you're not asking a question, you're stirring up trouble.

Ding Yizhen was right to prevent you from participating in the Guangming Peak bidding.

Wang Dalu probably didn't know that it was Li Dakang who gave the order, and Ding Yizhen carried it out.

Therefore, it is impossible for Dalu Group to win any of the sub-projects.

Because Ding Yizhen blacklisted Dalu Group.

Li Dakang glared at Wang Dalu. "President Wang, doesn't your Dalu Group have any involvement?"

Wang Dalu continued to complain, "Governor Song, Secretary Dakang, back when Ding Yizhen was in charge of the project, our Dalu Group, a regular private enterprise, couldn't even meet the threshold for participating in the bidding."

Despite having all the necessary qualifications, compliant procedures, and sufficient strength, they were directly barred from the competition, given absolutely no chance of winning.

Du Bozhong shook his head and echoed, "Yes, Governor Song, our Du Group has suffered the same fate."

Back then, we put all our effort into preparing qualification materials, adjusting our team, and developing plans, eager to participate in the construction of the Guangming Peak project. However, we didn't even pass the first round of bidding and were inexplicably eliminated.

Ding Yizhen often gave fabricated titles.

In any case, we were completely excluded.

Finally having the opportunity to confide in the governor, Du Bozhong talked on and on.

Executive Vice Governor Ren Zhimin frowned and immediately defended himself, "President Du, there are complete rules and regulations and standard procedures for project bidding. If the conditions are met, we will proceed; if not, we will be eliminated. It is fair and open."

If you wish to participate, simply follow the bidding process; there is no deliberate obstruction.

Ren Zhimin was not speaking up for Ding Yizhen, but rather trying to save face for himself.

Du Bozhong gave a wry smile, "Provincial Governor Ren, we really followed the procedures."

However, all the preliminary materials and qualification reviews were rejected internally in the first round, without even a chance for a second round.

We later made inquiries from various sources and learned that the spots had already been decided internally.

The so-called bidding process is nothing more than a formality, a show of it.

Ren Zhimin's face darkened slightly, eager to distance himself from the situation, "President Du, those are Ding Yizhen's personal issues!"

It was his private manipulation, reckless behavior, and illegal profiteering that led to this abnormal phenomenon, which was secretly instigated and supported by certain individuals.

Such violations will never happen again.

These words created a somewhat awkward atmosphere in the room.

Ren Zhimin only realized his mistake after speaking, having been so focused on shifting the blame to Ding Yizhen that he forgot Li Dakang was also present at the meeting.

This statement is a veiled criticism, openly condemning Ding Yizhen but actually implying that Li Dakang failed in his supervision and allowed the chaos to continue.

I misspoke; it was a low-level mistake stemming from a moment of carelessness.

Li Dakang couldn't stand it any longer, "Executive Ren, you can't say things like that."

As the Executive Vice Governor, you also bear responsibility for Ding Yizhen's problems.

Song Yunhui truly admired Li Dakang; no matter what anyone said, Li Dakang always managed to shift the blame.
